Social Rights and Ethics Charter Editorial by Alexandre De Juniac
Social Rights and Ethics Charter Editorial By Alexandre De Juniac The epitome of the values and rights underpinning the AIR FRANCE KLM Group’s identity and cohesion, the Social Rights and Ethics Charter applies to all employees of the two companies and their subsidiaries. An ambitious action plan spanning the Group as a whole, this Charter tackles various issues such as labour relations, ethics requirements and the respect for the environment and sustainable development principles. It highlights our vision of an open, united world, based on both economic responsibility and social and environmental progress. Negotiated with and signed by the staff representatives within the AIR FRANCE KLM European Works Council, this Charter is a prime example of how successful our contractual policy proves to be when it comes to achieving fair, balanced development. Every employee is now encouraged to become acquainted with this Charter and proactively endorse it. 1 Preamble The AIR FRANCE KLM Group and the AIR FRANCE KLM European Works Council (AFKL EWC) have jointly set out in this document the values and fundamental rights which underpin the identity of these two companies, and guide their social and ethics policy. These values and rights are the foundation for social, economic and cultural cohesion within each company and within the Group, which is essential to be able to share in the beneﬁ ts of growth. The purpose of this Charter is to foster a climate of enhanced mutual trust and respect in a work environment in which no form of discrimination or harassment may be tolerated. The development of a work environment favorable to the good economic and commercial performance of the Group and each of its companies, to progress in labour relations and personnel advancement requires continuous and extensive cooperation on the part of all.

SHAPING WORLD AVIATION: ANGLO-AMERICAN CIVIL AVIATION RELATIONS, 1944-1946 MARC L.J. DIERIKX* M UCH HAS BEEN written about the contents and im- plications of the Chicago Convention and the 1946 Bermuda-I Agreement. Little is known, however, about the process that led up to these major aviation agree- ments. Until recent years, historical research has been hampered by legal restrictions limiting access to govern- ment records. Based on previously unstudied documents, this article discusses the Anglo-American differences un- derlying the Chicago Convention and the Bermuda-I Agreement. I. INTRODUCTION The basic positions held by Great Britain and the United States toward post-war international civil aviation are well known. In popular terminology, the British posi- tion was one of protectionism while the United States sup- ported an open skies approach. These positions stemmed largely from the different aircraft production capability of the United States and Britain in the years following 1941.
